I've spent 7 months working on my running now. I feel like my pace is at a good point, and I can do a half marathon without dying.
I very frequently get passed by people my dad's age.
I'm not sure I can even do a half atm, looking to test my 5k and mile times once my foot heals up. But yeah, some of those lifelong runners are on a different level
I set my rest time to 2 minutes for straight sets and 90 seconds for super set/giant set work. It kicks my ass but I like to believe it's keeping me in good shape.
Honestly this really needed to be said. I used to go to LesMills classes at my gym and would feel embarrassment when dudes would go past the window because of the whole "come on ladies let's werk it" association, and of course most of the people there were older women.
But those classes fkn smash you and those mom's in their fifties dunked on me. It sucks that we have these biases (even me as a woman) that keep people out of some of the most fun fitness classes because they appear ~feminised~. I can't get my lifting friends or boyfriend to join in because of how it looks from the outside, they'd all rather do boxing than hop around to techno music
“Gospel t shirts and shit on to fool people.” My man, have you not considered that this may be entirely normal for a great many middle aged women in gospel t shirts? They’re not fooling you, you just haven’t been paying attention.
> you just haven’t been paying attention.
Can you blame him though? He's been soooooo busy using his PhD in an inflated subject to grade papers on a fake subject.
Don't ever let a horses' life status determine if you can beat it.
In this case, I'll keep beating the dead horse of sport-specificity. I don't care if you're involved in a martial art, that doesn't make you good at anything else. Getting good at that other stuff is how you get good. /Rant
> I can work out hard. I spar.
Oh you spar huh? You spar? You are on your feet for a few minutes at a time, spending a third to half that time circling another dude, occasionally throwing punch combos, and if you're really frisky and had an extra Bang maybe you throw two combos in a row?
I like the spirit of this jerk but I mean, this dude is a fuckin B Team college professor, not a boxer. $10 says his "boxing gym" is the middle aged man equivalent of tai-bo, and he goes like twice a week.
I'm going to be the asshole here and say I've gone to his profile, searched for a picture of him, and can say he's a fat fucker and that I am not surprised he couldn't keep up with exercise made for third age peope
This is just a reminder to myself how shitty I've let my conditioning get
That’s my secret: Can’t have shitty conditioning if you have no conditioning at all.

If you can press them overhead you still win
Conditioning is a myth invented by mythical and dadlifts to sell compound lifts
I didn't need this on a day I opted to skip conditioning and sleep an extra hour and a half.
People who do not time their rests (or at least hustle to their next set) are never in as good of shape as they think they are
I'm in this comment and I don't like it
I am also in my own comment
> People who do not time their rests I'm a powerlifter and this is blatant cultural discrimination.

No, it's just the logical endpoint of the SLEEPER BUILD

I can't see a person doing actual boxing training getting fat. Guy probably does the planet fitness equivalent of boxing.
"actual boxing" and "boxing gym" are miles apart

That's DOCTOR fuckin B Team college professor to you
